DaveT70 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 There is a separate, piggy back, RKE module (Remote keyless entry) on MK2.5 with passive entry and keyless start, it is on the rear 1/4 panels, somewhere, at the rear of the car, this also controls security through the GEM, including electric steering lock. The module gets contaminated with water and fails, find the module and replace, it will be plug and play Just a warning, the steering locked on our car during a low speed manoeuvre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Another possibility if the steering column lock isn’t releasing properly that may explain why the issue cleared after waggling the steering wheel. Id expect the system has an interlock to check the steering lock is released before letting the car start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
